Italian Chicken Salad

Italian Chicken Salad is another masterpiece to add to the salad collection, I must say. This recipe is also via Gourmet. I only substituted sliced grilled chicken tenders for rotisserie chicken because it's what I had. This recipe called for home baked croutons to be added directly into the salad but I thought that felt heavy. I preferred the bread served in a hunk on the side, warmed with a bit of olive oil and rubbed with a garlic clove.


How could this possibly be bad? Mozzarella, roasted red peppers, olives...classic Mediterranean flavors. I went a little heavy on the Dijon in the dressing, too.
